Now with the high priced subscription I’ve chosen not to pay anything, am sceptical towards any future products from them and as an unsatisfied previous customer keep my eyes open for alternatives. In a few years, when iOS might see another style change and an app-refresh is justified another $9.99 or $14.99 would be alright with me. The improved widgets that add functionality that go beyond what the classic widgets would have offered would have easily warranted another $4.99 one time IAP.

There is another route for devs to avoid subscription fatigued customer dread and that is features as in-app purchases.

Does such integration could be possible in the future with Omnifocus This would be nice and could nicely serve the same purpose as the Forecast view from iOs. According to their Twitter interactions their initial plan was to keep the “classic widget” around as long as possible and then, once Apple removes them entirely, most likely also let them fade out for existing non-subscription customers. Fantastical (the calendar app from Flexibits) just made an update which give the ability to see reminders from iCal.
